Hmm? Did I hear you say you have way too much money? Might I recommend a bespoke embroidered pillow perhaps? It takes 4-6 weeks for delivery, so unfortunately it won’t work for this year’s Mother’s Day, but you can always keep in mind for next year.

A wonderful personalized gift to admire and remember. Send us your child’s drawing and we will embroider an exact replica of it on a 100% white cotton pillow case. White. Measures 12″ X 16″. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Measures 12″ X 16″

Whoa, check this chair out. If you’re considering a lounge chair in a major-purchase sort of way, you might consider this one for it’s relative rarity.

Originally designed in 1963, just 300 pieces were made due to the complexity of the chair’s design. Just a few of the originals exist today. One is in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In keeping with Jalk’s intentions, the chair and tables are reproduced in their original materials, teak and Oregon pine as well as black-stained ash. Two pieces of wood are moulded and conjoined in this daring design, which won Britain’s Daily Mail Design Competition in 1963.

Designer: Grete Jalk
Lounge chair in moulded plywood.
Available in Oregon pine, teak or black stained ash.

If you have headphones you know how frustrating the tangling issue can be. Enter in the Magneat, which keeps the cord right where you want it by utilizing magnets (take a look at Magneat’s site to see how).

…a new way to manage headphone wires from any mobile device. Featuring a patented magnet solution to be fastened to almost any clothing, the Magneat solves one of the most annoying elements of portable technology like no-one has done before. The Magneat lets you adjusts the wire to acceptable length, minimizing the risk of tangling and reliefs the ears of the weight and motion from the wires. It keeps the wires close to your body and reduces the risk of unwillingly hooking and pulling it out of your ears or PMP (even when tying your shoelaces). Other benefits are the easy storage and untangled retrieval.

Wall Street Journal’s Magazine has a great article on eco-architect Micky Muennig’s Cooper Point Home. Take a look.

This house on Cooper Point, with its budding roof of wild grasses and California poppies, is one of his most impressive projects yet. It’s part of an expansive garden that, theoretically, stretches all the way down to the Pacific Ocean. Part hobbit hole, part high-tech habitat, it’s a perfect blend of old hippie values and the newest in green thinking. “The lifestyle was what really drew me here,” Muennig says. “I always dreamt of living freely in a small cabin.” –WSJ.

Hmm, is it worth it? Maybe? It looks pretty darn thin and very key-chain compatible.

“It’s shaped like a key, thin like a key, sturdy like a key and goes on our-you guessed it-key chain. It’s got all the bells and whistles you’d imagine (Hi-Speed USB 2.0, works on a Mac and PC, 8GB of storage space, ReadyBoost compatible) but it’s the fact that it’s so thin, so rugged and water and scratch proof, that makes it special! No more worrying whether something might happen to it, done, forget about that, this one is built to last.”

Sure, we’ve all seen some items made from windshields, but actually using the breaks and cracks of damaged windshields as a design element is something slightly new (to me, at least). I really wish they’d come up with better photography, but if you’ve any imagination you can see how this idea would be great as a shower door or, as shown above, as a wall divider or door.

Converting junk or damaged windshields into new glass products is a patent-pending process that we have perfected. While simple in concept it is a complex formula of art and science. We can add color to co-ordinate with other design elements. Second Glass can be framed, lighted, mounted, or hung just as in most glass applications creating attractive and easily maintained walls, dividers, fronts, partitions, and lighting.

Hmm, charismatically caramel or not, the price is not too outrageous on this sofa.

Charismatic in contemporary caramel, fluid in silhouette, these modern furniture supermodels are naturally poised for comfortable seating. Tantalizingly textural, too, in 55% polyester/ 45% linen. We also selected them for our unique collection because of their environmentally-sensitive construction including a durable, hardwood maple laminate frame and legs and seat cushions that have been filled with a recyclable virgin polyester fiber.
